The Big Five Lodge is a stunning resort but needs some serious maintenance. lots of water leakages which broke our hearts coming from Cape Town where we have a water shortage.menu could be improved upon as well to fit this beautiful establishment.;signage from the "Main" Rd is non existent which sent us riding in circles.

I have to let this down. This was the most unprofessional, unorganized, disappointing, uncomfortable stay I`ve ever experienced in my life. On arrival, no kettle in the compartment, order food at 19:00, food arrived at 22:30 at night. Next day found an apology letter, still no kettle, at night they deliver a dirty, filthy kettle that we never used. This was the most disgusting experience and I will never visit again.

Bad service and a serious lack of maintenance.What you order at the restaurant is not what you get on your plate. Not worth the price charged. There are plenty of better places for the same price.

I recently spent a week at the Big 5 Lodge while attending a workshop. The chalet was lovely and comfortable and contained all amenities (air-conditioner, TV, fridge,desk, armchair, en-suite bathroom, comfortable bed). The pool was great,bar and restaurant service good, and staff friendly and helpful. Conference rooms were promptly serviced before and during breaks, and kept supplied with water, etc. Room service was prompt and the food was okay. Unfortunately it was difficult getting timeous response to queries/requests/complaints.
